Strategy and Guiding Principles
We deliver events for any disabled person to attend an event and discover what sport can offer. Collaboratively designed and delivered with partner organisations to offer a glimpse into disability sport from grassroots through to performance pathways. Find out more by scanning this QR code.
How we achieve this:
- Person Centred - The Athlete Recruitment Network endeavours to put the individuals we engage with at the centre of the process.
- Collaborative Excellence - Our collective strength enables holistic support, appropriate opportunity, and a commitment to excellence at each stage of the Paralympic Potential pathway.
- Pride, Empowerment, and Belonging - These winning behaviours are a core part of ParalympicsGB Team culture that we are embodying when interacting with any person or organisation.
- Embracing the Paralympic Movement - To ensure that, through sport we are inspiring a better world for disabled people.
- Be The Future - To support disabled people to discover and explore sporting opportunities. Enabling the development and classification of future GB Paralympians where appropriate.
